    Improving?

    Beaten Technics SL-6 , three feet, marks on top, sticks a bit at times, sounded good. Good enough I can't remember what turntable came before. Paid about $10 Technics SL-BD22. Near mint, missing front logo, edge of dust covers has nicks. Sounds a bit less forced then the linear. Nothing...

    Technics SL-Q6. Won't start

    Lights up cue up and light by arm. Lid switch is clicking fine. Ideas? Could the arm need work? Slight rough shape. But decent. Also where do I get a grounding wire, it's not the same as my belt driven technics. Thanks Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Opinion wanted : would Mach 3 s be an improvement on CV RE30s

    Generally happy with the Cerwin Vega's. But I have a chance at some Mach 3 cheap but need a reform of the woofers. Any opinions if they are worth picking up given what I have. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Pioneer ct-s99wr. Second deck bay does not work

    The motor on that side that lowers and raises the transport does not move like the working side. The motor stays at a constant 4vdc. The other side stays at zero , then goes -4vdc or 4vdc depending on what is pushed. So given the one motor stays at 4 CDC ,but does nothing, I think I have a...

    R500 drops right channel or both channels after being turned on at times

    Pioneer sx-450 love the sound, but tuner weak

    A beaten yamaha r-500 and a 1981 panasonic boombox can beat the tuning capability of it. I can come close with bunny ears on the sx-450. It does beat either of my home theater recievers. So is a sx-650 better? It looks like one of the steps up is the tuner. So is it an issue? Or would...

    Silver sound in a multi channel receiver ?

    So I pick up a worn yamaha r500 at a thift and the sound has a certain warmth that neither my sony 845 or yamaha 463 can quite match. And neither of those can touch the FM of the R500. I listen mainly to stereo sources but I do listen to multi channel sacd. So any x.1 receivers that match...

    Cerwin vega re 30s vs Optimus pro-lx10

    Just got a pair of RE 30s, And while they are a bit bass heavy, at first listen they seem to work fine. Super tramp, Beatles and Donald Fagen play we'll on them. Temped to crank them:) But am I nuts they seem better at least now to the LX 10 s? They always seemed to lack something. Like...
